Have you received a Summons or Subpoena from Badhouse Studios, LLC?

Your first notice of the lawsuit will probably be a letter from your internet service provider (ISP) like Comcast, Cox, Time-Warner, Verizon or AT&T, and a subpoena from BADHOUSE STUDIOS, LLC.

Why have I received this?

The ISP letter and BADHOUSE STUDIOS, LLC subpoena probably relate to a federal copyright infringement lawsuit alleging that someone in the home or office illegally downloaded “LARCENY” using file-sharing software such as BitTorrent.

Is it real?

Yes, and ignoring the subpoena will reduce your options to fight it. Typically you only have two weeks to a month to file a motion to quash or vacate the subpoena.

Prepare to fight it in court. We are experienced litigators who fight back vigorously

In some cases, people who receive the ISP notice will not be served with a summons, but only receive a letter from the movie company’s lawyer.

We’ve helped nearly 2,000 clients across the US resolve their cases and can help you figure out the best course of action for you.

How much will it cost?

Most cases are resolved out of court. We charge a flat legal fee for anonymous settlements. We ensure you are protected by keeping you anonymous (if applicable), with no admissions of guilt and a full release of liability.

Want to fight it? We charge an hourly fee and can explain what to expect during our free consultation.

Hiring Antonelli Law Is No More Expensive than Hiring a Local Attorney in Your City

Antonelli Law’s numerous federal court admissions, local counsel affiliations, and the nature of federal lawsuits allow us to effectively and cost-consciously represent you in your copyright infringement defense, no matter which state you live in – and no more expensively than a local attorney.

We are able to represent you in your federal case without being more expensive or more difficult to hire than hiring a local attorney because federal courts require attorneys to file their papers electronically, and often conduct hearings by telephone. This makes frequent trips to the courthouse unnecessary. Also, we normally do not charge for airline flights or flying travel charges. Clients pay only for the normal travel time to the courthouse any local attorney would charge.

Finally, we have affiliated local counsel in a number of states who can appear in court on an expedited basis when necessary. We will, of course, be in court personally when necessary such as non-routine hearings or a trial.

Our Legal Services

We offer a reasonable Flat Fee for motions to quash, helping you settle and remain anonymous in many cases, and reasonable fees for defending you if you are named as a defendant in a copyright infringement lawsuit.

Selected severe financial hardship cases are handled on a reduced or pro bono basis. We accept attorney referrals and clients for Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Florida, and other states’ federal file-sharing cases. This is a swiftly changing area of law and we continually follow the latest developments.

Antonelli Law Ltd. provides advice based on years of solid litigation experience representing consumers and businesses and concentrates on representing people accused of BitTorrent copyright infringement. You need serious legal advice for your copyright troll defense – not from a firm who can only try to negotiate a settlement but has little or no actual litigation experience. Our last complex trial involved computer firewalls, sophisticated commercial networks, and a Microsoft certified expert. We have the credentials to back up our advice and settlement postures, and the other side knows it.
